Update !



I open at 9, he was here at 9:45 . Big smile on his face, he handed me all my credentials back and thanked me . He was more than friendly .
He said to expect a warning letter from the state .
Phew! I was sweating that one .

Nice job in being courteous and demonstrating a little humility. It goes a long ways.

Nice.

Is it possible he screwed the pooch a bit himself?

As in he should have caught this earlier so you also did him a minor solid by fixing both your lapses?

Awesome! regardless of when/where/how the problem occurred, the important thing is that it was fixed before it caused a real impact.

Ah - nice outcome, Fred.

I never had a doubt things would work out OK.

It's karma!

Great news. It is nice when you deal with a bureaucrat, that has a brain to think with, and is truly there to help, not hinder you. He could have been a power tripping jerk, but he realized you were one of the good guys, and made had a minor oversight.

Ya know, I thought I made a mistake once, but I was wrong.

Fred,
I responded to the prior thread but some sort of hiccup resulted in it not posting.

Summary: I (and also a large amount of PPOT) have a big respect for you and are rooting for you. You have had far more than your fair share of challenges and you have not been made bitter.

You are a good human. I have never met you. But I would like to do so in the future. I think I can say that we all hurt for you in your pains and cheer for you on your wins.

Be well friend.

Congratulations Fred. No doubt this incident resulted in some grey hairs but fortunately it resolved quickly.

Best Regards
